Songwriter/Soul Jazz Artist Lynn Cardona's 3-song EP, "OPHELIA"

​LYNN CARDONA’s newest project, OPHELIA, is an EP featuring three original compositions about love – both unrequited and the kind of love that is ecstatic and slowly burns with longing and lust. Cardona is a contemporary jazz and soul artist living in Los Angeles. She is a true original -- her voice has a dreamy quality and an utterly distinctive character. Her first CD, Lovin’ You, was released in 2016. Cardona’s lyrics reflect her troubled heart and difficult upbringing. She had been grappling with depression most of her life, brought about by being raised in a family with an abusive stepfather. Indeed, the title tune, “Ophelia,” which she co-wrote with well-known Memphis organist Charlie Wood, is about suicide. Cardona wears her heart on her sleeve. Her emotions, vulnerable and exposed, flow through her music like a gentle stream. Her voice is sinuous and lyrical, and the musicianship on these three tunes is superb. As Cardona puts it, “I want my music to convey the nuances of the experiences I’ve had. I want listeners to feel that they can relate to me on the deepest level.”
